Plastic recoveredPlastic waste is everywhere and in everything, found from the deepest ocean trench to the highest mountain tops. And partially to blame for this issue is the lack of transparency and accountability within the supply chain of plastics. Some researchers argue that by 2050, there may be more plastic by weight in the world’s oceans than there are fish. All the plastic that has ended up in the environment over the decades is still there. Due to weathering caused by sunlight, and waves, larger plastic items break down into smaller pieces but they never disappear, and more and more plastic is floating in the ocean where it finds its way into sea life, and eventually our human bodies.

Plastic recoveredThe negative feedback from plastic pollution is mainly environmental and social (Pawar et al., 2016). Plastic debris causes esthetic problems, and it also presents a hazard to maritime activities, including fishing and tourism (Li et al., 2016). Discarded fishing nets causes ghost fishing, resulting in losses to commercial fisheries (Richardson et al., 2018). Also, marine organisms can easily colonize floating plastic debris if it persists at the sea surface long enough, thereby facilitating the transport of non-native species. However, the problems attracting most public and media attention are those resulting in ingestion and entanglement by wildlife. More than 260 marine species have been susceptible to ingestion of plastics or entanglement within plastic debris, which retard their movement needed for feeding and mating, causing various degrees of lacerations, ulcers, even death (Alabi et al., 2019).

Plastic recoveredLunar New Year Festival often falls between late January and early February; it is among the most important holidays in Vietnam. Officially, the festival includes the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd day in Lunar Calendar; however, Vietnamese people often spend nearly a month celebrating this special event. Tet Holiday gets its beginning marked with the first day in the Lunar Year; however, its preparation starts long before that. The 23rd day of the last Lunar month is East Day—a ritual worshiping Kitchen Gods (Tao Cong). It thought that each year on this day, these Gods go to heaven to tell Jade Emperor about all activities of households on earth. On New Year’s Eve, they return home to continue their duties as taking care of families
